Monsterhood. The Making of forms part of a series of performances between the visual artist, Latefa Wiersch and performer, Emma Murray in which dance and object, inanimate and living bodies interconnect and grow into hybrids. In a world that is increasingly disembodied, mechanised and digitalised, Monsterhood the Making of responds to questions about the human body through a re-shaping of the threshold between subjective existence and material object. The work brings together Wiersch’s interest in the installation and animation of objects and Murray’s ongoing maternal enquiry into performing Motherhood. Monsterhood. The Making of performs a co-presence between human subject and the ambiguous figure of the puppet-as-other, in which boundaries of corporal cohesion are put to the test. "Only through movement is transformation of the objects made possible." Through movement, body fragments are pushed, pressed, reformed and pupated into other creatures. There is a confrontation with the uneasiness of an abject or erupted body -'a body emerging from one's own'. In this way, new relations are continuously created and existing ones changed. Bodies lie over bodies, entwine, pupate other bodies, lose a head, fall, are held, are pulled down and then stand again. The number of limbs change, proportions are deformed and tentacles grow through a continuous and unfolding interaction.
